1. A bit expensive, but you'll "enjoy" it. |
|
Tough to enjoy a tough movie. Michael Moore gets it right, as usual. A couple bottles of mediocre to decent wine? Yeah, it's worth it.

4. Yes, it's a good movie. Lots of recap of stuff you know. More of a personal essay on the issues. |
|
But a very good movie. Can be seen as a recap of his whole career in some ways.

5. Highly disappointing movie |
|
Boring at times in fact. Probably Moore's worst movie and I say this as an anti-capitalism Socialist.
His highpoint is still Sicko.

7. I've seen it 7 times. I thought it deserved Oscar nomination... |
|
but that whore-house-voting-Oscars-booth is probably rigged.

8. I guess if you like capitalism |
|
You've just contributed to Anchor Bay Entertainment, a division of Starz , LLC.
I dunno. Unless you're going to watch a DVD 50 times, I wouldn't buy spend $24.99 to buy a copy. But that's just me.

I saw it in the theater and I have one on order from Amazon that should be here in a few days. I can't say "enjoy" because the subject matter is anything BUT enjoyable ... but the movie is spot-on.
Michael Moore holds up a mirror to what is going on, which is why he is SO demonized.

10. I saw it - good move IMO - I'll probably buy it too |
|
that way you can share it with people that wouldn't go rent it. That's what I did with Food Inc. Expensive if it is just for yourself, but I think there is important material in both movies/documentaries that my friends and family need to see and make them think.

12. I thought that Michael did a good job of laying out the history... |
|
and what lead up to the current economic disaster. I like that he talks about the ideas that used to be our ideals.
The intro is great. I always wonder where he manages to find all of the old film that he uses so effectively. Do watch the extras.
As others have said, it was not exactly enjoyable but it was interesting and informative. Since most americans are so very uninformed, it is a great movie for those who need to be caught up on what is really happening.

15. Doesn't the fact that they're selling an anti-capitalism movie for $24/copy defeat the purpose? |
